PSIA

The PSIA Area Control Specification enables systems integrators and end-users to easily integrate multiple access control and intrusion detection systems and devices from different vendors.  This multiple-system, multiple-vendor situation is commonly found in many businesses and facilities

Instead of viewing each system separately, security users can manage and respond to one view of all their access control and intrusion systems and devices once these are integrated via the Area Control spec.

Through the Area Control integration, an alarm or event in one system can be automatically communicated to and trigger actions in other systems. This seamless communication streamlines security management and tasks, such as revoking access privileges and clearing alarms.

Systems integration that would normally take weeks or months and substantial custom computer code and interfaces can now be accomplished in hours and days--and yet deliver more effective, easily maintained security solutions at lower costs.
